    So now that Diancie's distribution date has been confirmed, when do you all speculate the other 2 legendaries will be made available?

    I'm anticipating something in 2015......perhaps Hoopa first as for a tie in as to why its being distribution I have no idea.

    As for Volcanion, I'm guessing by the end of 2015 in conjunction with the release of Pokemon Z if such a thing is to be released?

    What are your thoughts on why/when etc they will be released?
     
    I don't really know, but 2015 is probably a good guess; bring a little interest back to X and Y after the hype of ORAS's release dies down a bit.

    All I ask is that they make it a worldwide WiFi distribution and not this serial code **** we've been getting lately.
     
    I have a feeling that the next movie may feature either Zygarde along with the Primals, or Rayquaza, hinting at either Z or Delta Emerald. Unless they break the third version (Delta Emerald would be the third version to ORAS in this context) mascot appears in the second movie of the generation pattern that goes back to Suicune appearing in Pokémon 4Ever.
    Anyways with possibly three, or even four key legends there may not be any room for an event mon. However, nearly every movie has featured an event legend with the only ones I can think of that don't being 2 (Lugia interestingly becomes one two generations later (3)) and 3. However there's a chance Jirachi could appear since Mew and Celebi popped up again. Plus this movie ties in with the remakes (by having their mascots) more so than Celebi's second movie.

    So maybe Hoopa will be featured in a short tying in with the 2015 movie. Volcanion will probably end the generation (maybe in a movie featuring Deoxys' return but that could also be saved for a 2017 movie) in 2016.

    So yeah, 2015 and 2016 sound like the dates those two will be released.
     
    I'm just going to go on record as guessing the Volcanion will be the next to be released many months after the release of ORAS because of how weather related it is. (It's fire AND water, so it makes sense to be released for ORAS) and I think Hoopa will be released many months after the release of Pokemon Z
     
    maybe I can see these two getting released around the the time the new movie gets announced oooooor, if they decide to release pokemon z. like i'm hoping it's a normal wifi event instead of the region locked serial code thing they've been doing lately. :/

    The issue with that is that Hoopa is the next Pokémon in the dex, so it'll likely come before. If they skip Hoopa GF will be pressed to officially reveal that missing spot in the dex (even though those of us who already saw the leaks already know about it).
     
    Hoopa will probably be announced and released towards the end of the ORAS cycle in a years time. And Volcanion the next year a few months after Pokemon Z to support it.

    Praying to the Lord that they will be wifi events though. We can only hope
     
    Hoopa will be the Movie 17 star.

    Volcanion will be the Movie 18 star, maybe Movie 19 (making Zygarde the Movie 18 star).

    Either way, count on it.

    Now that I think about Pokemon Movies, maybe Volcanion will have something to do with an ORAS movie involving Groudon somehow. Think about it, both are kinda like mountain-y volcano lava looking pokemon, right? I don't usually predict things though, I kinda just wait and play and wait some more.
     
    I think we will see volcanoian in ORAS

    But then there is a mystery gap in the Pokédex as Hoopa is supposedly #720, and Volcanion #721. They would have to reveal Hoopa first. They won't do Volcanion until the third game ("Z"), I think. Hoopa, meanwhile, might appear around May or June (announced) when the next movie is due in Japan unless there's an anime special involving it.

    Wait... there's a Pokemon Z? Well I also I guess it would make sense to reveal hoopa 2nd since Dianice was 1st. Maybe we will see Volcano in Pokemon Delta Emerald, if the game comes out.

    Notice I quoted "Z". That's just speculation, and what speculation calls it. For all we know, they could go X2/Y2 again. Which, IMO, was dumb in Gen. V and purely profit-driven.

    I like Volcanion in Delta Emerald and something with Heatran. But history indicates the third game never gets remade. Of course, we hope otherwise this time; it was the best-selling game in the series.

    B2W2 was probably to buy time for XY. And it also seems like that there will be a Z though since Zygarde has some kind of other forme (i think) and zygrade seems to have a connection with xy

    We know it's coming. But until it's official, it's speculation.
     
    I like all the "Z isn't confirmed, they could still do X2 and Y2" speculation, when it not only wouldn't have been named X and Y if a Z wasn't coming, but more importantly I laugh because all the "There's Hoenn remakes coming!" speculation was met with such vitriol and condescension, yet when the remakes were actually announced, all the critics went completely silent! :D

    I want to point out that I err on the side of caution. I myself noticed all the signs of Hoenn remakes but also said, "They have to announce it". It's the same here. Deep down, we know they are planning Z. But it's unconfirmed.

    And back then, no one saw B2/W2 coming. We expected Gray.
